- Minor penalties are 3 minutes running time; major penalties are 7 minutes running time; misconducts are 13 minutes running time.
- A player’s third penalty in a game will result in an automatic game ejection, followed by a board review to determine whether further disciplinary action is required.
- Any penalties involving physical/unsportsmanlike contact (eg. slashing, boarding, body checking, roughing, etc.) received in the last 2 minutes of a game will be reviewed and subject to suspension.
- Major penalties will result in an automatic game ejection, plus an extra game suspension, and a review.
- Major penalties such as hitting from behind, boarding, head contact (with intent to injure) may - at the discretion of the referee and following a Board review - carry a longer suspension.
- Suspensions carry over to the playoffs and the following season.
- Players serving a suspension are not eligible to be called up or to participate in any tournament or Allstar games.
- Repeated suspensions may cause a player to be expelled from the league.
- All accumulated penalty minutes will be monitored by the Board and, if deemed excessive, will result in a verbal warning to the coach and player, followed by suspension of the player should the number of accumulated minutes be too high.
- Players using abusive language or showing unsportsmanlike behaviour (eg. slamming sticks, arguing calls, slamming doors, etc.) will be assessed a minor penalty. Such penalties will be monitored by the Board and repeat offenders will be suspended.
- Ejected or suspended players may not stay on the bench or assist in coaching the game.
- Any players who do not adhere to the CCJHA Players Code of Conduct will face disciplinary action by the Board, up to and including expulsion from the league.

- Playoff games are 3 periods of 20 minutes running time, with a 3-player shootout, if necessary, to determine a winner.
- No-touch icing.
- Anytime a puck strikes a goalie’s helmet, it is deemed a “dead puck”, meaning play stops and if a goal results, it is ruled a “no goal”.
